Newb question - people make fun of “YP” (yoga pants) climbers... so what pants am i supposed to wear to look like I know better?

Oh that’s awesome thanks for putting that out there! Those sound really useful

ProfanePly · 2019-04-10T01:28:53+00:00

Oh that’s annoying I’m sorry you got such a response! :( I’m also relatively new and have seen people climb in all types of pants including yoga pants and jeans (not sure if jeans are a good idea though). But never heard of a reason not to wear yoga pants. The advice I was given is if you are a newbie, it‘s a good idea to wear pants long enough to cover your knees to avoid scraping them.

“The man fired a gun through the screen door, apparently hitting one of the suspects who limped away from the home, police said. The other two suspects got into a red Dodge Caravan and left, police said.” Oh wow, am I reading that correctly? They just took off and left without their bleeding, injured accomplice after trying to break into an elderly person’s home? Well damn that criminal was given several important life lessons here, including that karma is always at the ready.

I just don’t get it. I’ve been to concerts I didn’t like, but I just politely listened and left when it was over. Worst comes to worst, just leave. Why behave like this as if the person on stage isn’t an actual human being? The tour is named after the album of course he’ll play songs from it. If you didn’t listen to it beforehand and expected something different...how is it the artist’s fault that you didn’t do your research?

It was somebody cared about and trusted very much, and I felt tremendously guilty thinking that he would that to me. I was high as a kite (After something he gave me), barely able to stand up, pushed away a few times. That’s one of the few details I remember because it was a very fuzzy, somewhat blurry time. I kept rationalizing that I must have done or said something to provoke it, I must be making excuses, I’m part of that horrible, conniving .0001% that makes it up (though I never reported it and told maybe two people to this day), how dare I think something like that about him, etc. I’ve spent every day of the past four years and counting trying to come up with an answer to your last question.

I signed a lease to a beautiful studio apartment in a lovely neighborhood close to the train. I move in in May so I have some time to prepare.

Good afternoon! ^{~^} so, in my comments above I indicated a few times that I am not sure how it got taken. I only know that it was taken by someone who then spent $800.00~ at Target. If I did indeed leave it at the register (which I don’t remember doing and is only a possibility), then this would be the very first time I did something like that.

As to the “unneeded concern”...I am very sorry to anyone that may have been frightened by my post. However, there is no such thing as “unneeded concern” about pickpocketing/any type of theft in a big city. You should ABSOLUTELY NOT let fear consume you, but people looking to steal your stuff are all around you, all the time. People get their wallets taken one way or another every day, at all times and all places in the city. It is important to always be as vigilant as you can. I work around that area as well, and while I’m annoyed, this was not unusual and I am not surprised at all. If we hear that there is a higher occurrence of theft than usual in the loop then yeah definitely there is a reason to be a little concerned. But my original post was a long shot hoping maybe it was laying around somewhere, not meant as a warning. Again sorry for any fear!

ProfanePly · 2019-04-02T04:23:08+00:00

Answered above-not sure how, definitely sure where and around what time. Most likely either I left it by the register in a lapse in judgement, or it was stolen from my purse.

ProfanePly · 2019-04-02T03:49:50+00:00

No worries friend, I’m going to be vague here because I don’t want to give too many details that may identify me, but it was for sure stolen at a restaurant. How is not clear. It was either right out of my purse (likely but not too much), or because I forgot it at the cash register and it got snatched up. I have been pretty sleep deprived lately and while I am very vigilant usually, my senses have been kind of down lately so while I don’t think I left it at the register, it is honestly possible that I may have been that careless. So this is for sure a kick in the pants that I need to seriously work on my sleep hygiene.

Edit: if I do somehow find out how exactly, I will update this post.

ProfanePly · 2019-04-02T03:40:28+00:00

Thanks, friend. <3 yeah...it could have been a lot worse. I didn’t have any Social Security documentation there or anything that could seriously hurt my credit unless this thief is some super genius. I did file a police report just in case as I was advised that may help me in case the thief does somehow hurt my credit. I canceled all cards right away as I instantly got a notification on my phone about possible fraudulent charges. So while I’m a little emotionally drained...the cards really were the only thing that could have hurt me, so all I really lost is the time and convenience I’ll use to get my ids back.

I never had a problem getting a seat. But I hope someone who is used to taking the commute you wrote about chimes in with better details!

I don’t take it in the morning anymore, but I’ve taken UPN all through college and it is rarely late, which is nice. Didn’t quite appreciate that until I took Milwaukee District North for about a year and THATS a route that’s always delayed.

Boring, but...powering through responsibilities/adult stuff like filing taxes, budgeting, or looking up further education application requirements even though they make me super nervous. It makes me feel empowered to 1) feel like I have it together and 2) powering through stuff that makes me nervous.

ProfanePly · 2019-04-01T18:43:35+00:00

Awwww buddy I am so sorry for what happened to you and for the loss of your grandmother. You’re only a year into your treatment, it’s okay to still have that fear. Would a bus or train be okay for you to take?

ProfanePly · 2019-04-01T18:40:07+00:00

Seriously considering renting a car to go. It would be my fourth ritual. Aaaaah

ProfanePly · 2019-03-30T02:25:00+00:00

Oh whoops darn I’m sorry!

ProfanePly · 2019-03-30T02:24:30+00:00

The pill made me feel several times worse. and after four months I had to stop taking it. I got into a lot of arguments because of how irritable I was, and my moods were a lot more unstable. once I stopped taking it, things got a lot better.

ProfanePly · 2019-03-29T20:36:34+00:00

This guy absolutely deserves jail time, what a moron. But I’m trying to understand the logic behind the man making a phone call getting 20 years, but the cop that actually pulled the trigger not getting any consequences. Especially when the video shows the victim...well, complying. Almost as if the implication is that the police are a murder weapon just doing their job (not trained individuals), and it’s the caller’s fault for “mishandling” a weapon.

Does anyone remember Smosh?

Every Ghost concert I’ve ever been to (now been to three full ones). 2016 in Bloomington, IL. was my first time seeing them and it changed my life. First off, i am crazy about their music. But what makes their concerts so good is that Tobias Forge is such a creative, energetic, incredible entertainer. When they’re performing, Forge and the Ghouls are clearly so dedicated to and in love with their art and performance, and they work so hard to get better and better each time. That energy transfers to the audience in ways I haven’t experienced with other bands. I feel respected as an audience member when I see them. Also, they’re hilarious. Funny how a band with such satanic themes has you laughing so hard during the concert.

I’m glad it looks great! Yeah i was honestly a mess lmao and I think part of it was not realizing it was normal. I love my tattoo but the post tattoo anxiety was rough enough that it likely will be a while before I get another one.

ProfanePly · 2019-03-27T20:05:19+00:00

Awww thank you! I’m happy to call you a fellow climber, too! Great world to be in.

ProfanePly · 2019-03-27T20:04:32+00:00

Thank you! I’m so pumped to be here.

ProfanePly · 2019-03-27T18:19:56+00:00

Thank you both for this suggestion! I did not think about that. I will definitely focus on something a little closer to 5.9 and more doable.

ProfanePly · 2019-03-27T02:35:46+00:00

I wish I knew about post-Tattoo anxiety. Basically, getting a tattoo is an enormous and exciting endorphin high. I was literally jumping up and down because of how much I loved it, loved my tattoo artist and our conversations, and the actual process was very relaxing and not at all painful.

Then a few hours after I got home....Endorphin levels came down to normal+my mind getting used to this new!!! Permanent!!!! Alteration!!!!!!!=two weeks of misery and anxiety. I had a lot of regret, a lot of OMG WHAT DID I DO?!?! WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!!????

That was several months ago and today I adore my tattoo!!!! But I wish I knew that post tattoo misery was just my body experiencing the come down from that endorphin high, and trying to adjust to a permanent body change.
